Family Friendly VIETNAMESE???

I have a picky friend whose is visiting Manhattan with a 6 year old and a 9 year old and he says he has a craving for Vietnamese (by the way, he has no idea if his kids will like it...) I'm a good upstanding hound, but the truth is, I don't know from Vietnamese. Two questions -- can you name some decent Vietnamese where you think kids will be welcome (I'll take any and all suggestions, but West Side and/or further uptown is ideal) and second, are there any basic dishes that are user friendly enough for children? I really would rather avoid the wrinkled noses and the "I want McDonald's!" comments.
